Double barreled cannon test

[alwion]

I remember the picture of the CW double barreled cannon, but couldn't find the post. Here is a test on the smithsonian channel, using a FB link. Even using an electronic timer, doesn't appear very feasible.

If you want to see it, it is in Athens, Georgia.

Thanks for the photos Jimmy, hadn't seen it before.

     Warren Ripley included a short bit on this gun in his book "Artillery and Ammunition of the Civil War" page 180. Sounds like the test here was similar to the test of the original.
     Interesting idea and piece though.

Imagine if loaded with cannister.
